Section VMl. 



A detailed notice of any Epidemic which may have visited the station in the course of the year, 

 the circumstances under which it appeared, and its subsequent progress, and if it was at- 

 tended by any atmospherical phenomena. 



The past \2 months, or period embraced by this report, 

 lias been free from Epidemic disease in the regiment. 



gmtou $*♦ 



If sufficiently extensive materials are possessed, show whether the sickness and mortality at 

 the station has most affected young soldiers or those advanced in life, and whether it has 

 fallen in a higher proportion on those recently arrived than on the long resident. 



This will be ascertained by comparing the number alive at each age and each period of resi. 

 dence in the station, with the numbers of the same class who have died in the course of the 

 year. 



These calculations however are not required, unless at least 1000 men have been under ob- 

 servation at the station, but the Principal Medical Officer at the station will always be expect- 

 ed to furnish it in his general summary and abstract of all the returns of the command.
